The default cap for everybody is 60, which is due to V-Sync. There is no way to change the cap other than with external programs.

... in other words, disable V-Sync in your driver settings.

My default cap is 75. But I only ever hit it when the map is empty, so it's no biggie. :p

vsync limits your FPS to your refresh rate. So if you have vsync enabled depending on the refresh rate you are using that will be your max FPS.

At least thats what I always thought was the case, it was never a case of locking it to 60 FPS just for enabling vsync.

Can't try it anymore as I no longer have a PC for gaming for a few months :(

I think he wants to reduce it to 40 somehow, a trick often used so you don't notice the drops below it as severe as it jumping form say 100 to 25 FPS.

If it isn't able to be done via a command line though, I imagine he is SOL.

yes thats what i want

my FPS are usually 60fps, then when i get into cities, it drops to low 40's, so i want to lock it to 40 constantly, cause its annoying when it raises and drops fast all the time

also whats SOL?

In your arma2.cfg ( or arma20a.cfg ) file, look for

refresh=60;

And change that to 40

that might do the trick

Cant you force a monitor to run on a refresh rate it does not support? maybe you can create your own, like with the resolution.

Don't think its healthy for the monitor though :rolleyes:

My CRT just goes black when something/someone tries to make it use a resolution or refreshrate it doesn't support. I dont know about my LCD but i assume that it does the same.
